Easter Party

Whatcha gonna do now that those little cluckers are too old for hunting eggs? How about an egg hunt that no adult can resist?

You guessed it… A JELLO SHOTS EGG HUNT! But not just any jello shots. How about plastic eggs filled with jello shots? What could be cuter?

Instructions:

You will need to save a few egg cartons for easy storage. Place each empty carton on a baking sheet for the ease of getting it into the fridge later. Next, simply place each plastic egg half in an egg compartment of the carton. Mix up your favorite jello shot recipe, and go ahead and jellinate right on into each egg half. Chill until set (about an hour). You can then snap those egg halves right on back together and chill really well. You will now be all set to hide them or set them out in a pretty bowl for your guests.

Have guests bring their own baskets for the hunt. Rather, if you want to get really creative, you can have guests decorate plain baskets that you’ve purchased earlier, and give a prize to the most original, prettiest, or ugliest basket! A prize can be anything from some bunny ears to a cute Easter dishtowel. Any craft store will have ready-to-glue-on pompons, feathers, gemstones, beads, garland, mesh, flowers, etc.

½ cup sundried tomatoes (reconstituted by soaking in water for 30 minutes, if not oil-packed)

½ cup chicken or veggie broth

½ cup dry white wine

2 pounds asparagus, trimmed to 1 inch pieces

1 tsp. each oregano, basil, poultry seasoning, salt, black pepper

1 cup parmesan cheese, shaved

Cook linguine according to package directions.

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook garlic and onion in 2 Tbsp. olive oil. And chicken, wine, and broth; cook until chicken is no longer pink. Remove chicken with slotted spoon. Add spices, asparagus, tomatoes, and pine nuts; cook a few minutes more. Remove from heat.
